About Drew Graber, MA, LLPC (Holland)

img

My education consists of a Bachelor of Arts in Human Development and Family Studies from Michigan State University and a Master of Arts in Marriage, Family and Couple’s Counseling from Western Michigan University. I am currently a Limited Licensed Professional Counselor (LLPC) in the State of Michigan, which allows me to diagnose and treat mental health disorders. As a LLPC, I also receive supervision from a fully Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) on a regular basis.

Majority of my experience has been working with individuals and families utilizing techniques of Person-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a diverse group of adolescents, children, adults and families in different settings.

My goal is to help provide my clients with the resources and tools to function successfully, grow, and experience overall personal wellness. I believe every client is unique in their own diverse life experiences that has led them to where they are today. I look forward to helping provide my clients with a safe, empowering and healing place to work through life’s difficulties
